Abstract

After understanding and diagnosing urban stormwater management problems, the next important step is often prescribing improvement alternatives to address these problems. This chapter offers a practical discussion of design methodologies for developing stormwater improvement alternatives and for evaluating their hydraulic performance. An overview of alternative stormwater design options is given along with a discussion of alternative optimization and evaluation procedures. Case studies from projects in Ohio and Florida are used to highlight the approaches and methodologies presented.
